''JOHNNY YUMA WAS A REBEL,
HE WANDERED THE WEST,
JOHNNY YUMA THE REBEL,
HE WANDERED ALONE.
HE GOT FIGHTIN' MAD,
THIS RESTLESS LAD,
HE WAS PANTHER QUICK
AND LEATHER TOUGH
AND HE FIGURED THAT HE'D BEEN PUSHED ENOUGH
THE REBEL, AWAY RODE JOHNNY YUMA, THE REBEL''.
There was a Chorus behind Johnny Cash repeating some of the lyrics with him as well as singing some of their own.
